about

A dedication to Ballaké Sissoko, one of the most influential kora players
of his generation, and one of my role models on the Kora. Ballaké also stands as a symbol in this ancient tradition of the role of the father-figure as the mentor in passing on the tradition; a symbolic representation of my own father Sanjally Jobarteh and his role as my mentor in passing on the tradition to me. The song pays homage to the interdependent connection and respect between one generation and the next in this hereditary tradition which rests on the responsibility of passing on our knowledge.
